:shock:
wow that looks like a tiny warthog for one
any wepones?

ATV can travel very fast over nearly all types of terrain. There is also a passenger seat on the rear, behind the driver. With no mounted weapons, the passenger must use his own weapons for defense.
It's supposed to be almost impossible to hit while driving in open ground, as it's so fast. Best used in short quick assaults on small groups of Covenant, instead of large battles.
cube2323- 04-18-2007
we will see
Vakarran- 04-19-2007
its so smooth no metalic look and looks like the wheels have been painted onto the vehical.

Vakarran- 04-24-2007

The Spiker is a dual-wieldable weapon resembling a cut-down shotgun with two bayonets. Though its slightly more powerful than an SMG, it has a slightly slower rate of fire. Unlike the SMG, however, there is little recoil due to the sheer weight of the gun. This negates the action of having to adjust one's aim as one has to do with the SMG. The Spiker also has a larger spread fire than the SMG.
The Spiker fires two-foot superheated orange metal spikes resembling needler projectiles. However, upon impact, its wounds are "horrifying". The spikes fired by this weapon are armor-piercing and will penetrate energy shields. The spikes will not crumple when shot at close surfaces at an angle. If you shoot head on, they will crumple, but if you angle that shot and you can deflect, with predictable accuracy, deadly, shredding rounds that basically lose none of their efficiency. Its ammunition spikes have also been noted to be of the same material as the also Brute-issue Spike Grenade (i'll have more on this weapon later). When a Spiker fires a projectile, it leaves a peculiar vapor like "burnt hair".
The Spiker is much the Covenant counterpart of the UNSC SMG, having very similar range and penetration capabilities. There similarities to the SMG are mainly apparent in close range combat situations, reportedly doing 'terrible things to human flesh'. Also having a large bayonet mounted under the barrel of the weapon increases its close quarters functionability. As with the SMG to pulse the trigger for increased accuracy. When using the weapon for medium range combat, its similarities to the SMG are limited. When in full automatic, the spikes will gain a very large spread, even more than that of the SMG. Another difference from the SMG is that there is very little recoil, virtually eliminating the problem of upward crawl during dual wielding, and the need to constantly adjust aim to stay on target.
Another important feature to note is that when the spikes strike a surface at an angle, they will not crumple, but will deflect off the surface with predictable results, and lose none of their power. This is useful for striking at foes behind cover.
Jackals, not Brutes, were the first to be recorded using this fire arm. But Brutes are now the main users.
The weapon was first seen in 2537, as a illegal side arm used by Covenant Jackals.
The spiker is like a cross between the needler and the brute shot.
---------------------------------------
So to summarise, the Spiker shall be a bigger better version of the Needler, wielded for sure by Brutes, and probably by some Jackals. Perhaps Drones shall use them as well, since a few used Needlers in Halo 2. Also, I still find myself cringing at the "However, upon impact, its wounds are horrifying" sentence.
cube2323- 04-28-2007
yes i would too but wat about the hertic elites and grunts?
sharrakor- 04-29-2007
Picture of Spiker:
as far as Heretics, no mention of them appearing in Halo 3. To my extent of knowledge, all the Heretics would've joined the Humans and Covenant Seperatists (Elites, Grunts, Hunters) in their fight against the Covenant Loyalists (Brutes, Drones, Jackals, Prophets).
cube2323- 04-30-2007
o good
spiker looks VERY dangous
sharrakor- 04-30-2007
That they do, that they do. I'd rather face a Needler anyday. And also, if it was made illegal by their own Covenant, you know it's gotta be bad.
